A man walking out of a store is carrying a paper shopping bag that is a little over stuffed. I notice that it was so stuffed that a tiny red velvet container falls out of the bag onto the street while he is getting into his car. It is a good thing he didn't notice. I pick it up and put it into my pocket w/out telling him. He should of been more careful because he has just lost a brand new $10k wedding ring. Hey, he had left it in the public domain... its a good thing for arguements like these.
